I’ve recently read Sabine Asgodoms’ book about accepting yourself no matter what size you are. The author is an avid advocate of loving yourself and treating yourself well without necessarily adhering to our Western standard of slim and trim.

However, since this book is not available in English I won’t bore you with a complete translation of my review. Just so much: I loved the book and the way she’s writing about an issue that is a problem for many, many women (and surely men as well). If you are interested in literature about accepting yourself no matter what size you are, there are a couple of Englisch books out there that could be of interest. Two of them are: Mimi Spencer “101 Things to Do Before You Diet” and Marilyn Wann “Fat! So? Because You Don’t Have to Apologize for Your Size”.
